ALL ABILITIES TEAM NOMINATIONS ARE NOW OPEN

Tenpin Bowling Australia Limited is committed to the inclusion of all Australians. Over recent years, this vision has allowed the inclusion of teams into the Australian Adult Championship.

We are continuing to build on the work that has been achieved at previous year’s Australian Adult Championships. The 2020 championships will be held in Hobart at Zone Bowling Moonah, from the 22nd July to 15th August 2020. Our aim is to enter a men’s and ladies team into the National Restricted Teams Challenge.

TBA is seeking expressions of interest, from bowlers with an Intellectual Disability, (as classified under the TBA Rules) who are interested in participating in the team.
